Guestling questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Guestling too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cater in Guestling?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Guestling and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Wedding hog roast near Guestling
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We are often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and rustic barn receptions, with carved roast pork, new potatoes and salads.
Near Guestling, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What else we do in Guestling
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
